Ceará Government Begins Works on the Export Processing Zone and Continues Expansion of the Pecém Port

The Ceará government has initiated the expansion works of the Export Processing Zone (EPZ) at the Pecém Port. With investments of around R$ 30 million, sector 2 (as it is designated) will occupy an area of 240 hectares. The delivery forecast for the first module is until February 2021.

Granite, Mining, and Maquiladora Industries Expected to Settle After Works in the Pecém Port Area

According to the president of EPZ Ceará, Mário Lima Júnior, the area can host granite processing industries, mining companies, and maquiladoras.

“In this first phase, we have granite processing industries, mining companies that produce special ores, such as manganese, and there are the maquiladora industries, which are assemblers that receive imported components, assemble, and export the final product. There are consultations, but nothing is formalized yet,” says Lima Júnior.

Currently, three companies operate in the Complex: Pecém Steel Company (CSP), White Martins, and Phoenix Pecém. In 2019, the trio handled over 12 million tons of cargo.

The Pecém Port today is a joint venture formed by the Ceará Government (70%) and the Port of Rotterdam (30%). The area includes an industrial zone, the Pecém Port, and EPZ Ceará. According to Camilo, “the idea is to make the Pecém Port a more modern port, capable and agile in loading and unloading, because that is very important – the efficiency in the service it provides in operating ships that arrive from all over the world.”

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.

China inaugurates a 24 km monster that is a bridge, tunnel, and museum at the same time — and 90,000 cars pass through it every day.
